After having overheating issues all this week, and having a leaky radiator and bad thermostat fixed, my water pump went out today. I went to Kragen and bought a new water pump, hoses, thermostat, rad cap, and temp sensor to hopefully get rid of any cooling issues. Well when I finally got the old pump off, and the area cleaned up to put the new one on, it wouldn't fit. It seems that the impeller sticks out on the back side of the pump too far and it rubs on the outside wall of that first cylinder. the bolt pattern is a perfect match for the one I removed, though. I finally gave up on if about a half hour ago, and will go at it tomorrow again. So can anyone tell me if I might have the wrong pump, or is it something I'm doing incorrectly?
